Alexandra Inglis is a respected family doctor, trusted by her patients to keep their most intimate secrets. And if sometimes the boundaries between duty and desire blur...well, she's only human.

Love Liane Moriarty
Revisado: 03-14-19
As much as I love her books I didn’t feel this had the authenticity of the others I have read. I didn’t feel as engaged in the characters (maybe there were too many for me) and I missed the great descriptions of the northern beaches!
Having said all that it was a fun easy read and I’ll still be listening to the next one Liane writes.

Historia
New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed knows a best seller when she sees one - even if it is just a tantalizing partial manuscript submitted by a writer identified only as P.M.E., with the return address of an obscure island off the Georgia coast. Maris is intrigued enough to search for him.

Good easy read
Revisado: 08-31-18
I enjoyed the story although a bit predictable but was somewhat put off by the narrators inability to correctly pronounce the simplest of words like quay (key) which he pronounces “kway”!

Highly recommended

Great Story, but the narrator reads too fast
Revisado: 08-31-16
What did you love best about Evil Games?
Good plot and main character, as interesting and gripping as the first one
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Although I was able to work it out before the end, i enjoyed the twists and turns that the author took to get to conclusion
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The speed of narration is too fast for me (I had listen to an earlier book and thought the same, but forgot when downloading this)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, you have to take a break for your brain to catch up with the speed of narration
Any additional comments?
Unfortunately although I like the series the narration has put me off buying another one

Historia
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law, and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her.

Very Dark
Revisado: 05-24-16
I'm not sure what I was expecting but found this very dark and depressing. I'm not altogether sure I understand the point the author was trying to make

The narrator spoiled it!
Revisado: 04-08-15
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I am aware of the story line having seen it on UK TV decades ago and was interested to hear the book for this reason, as I know there is a twist but can't remember the end. However the american accent trying to do British accents was a mixture of poor Audrey Hepburn accents!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sculptress?
The prison guard who sounds like Eliza Doolittle (before) and the British main character who sounds like Audrey in a Roman Holiday with an american accented inner dialogue (which is actually a blessing)! Olive comes from DaRlington not Dallington and surely even Americans frown, not frowen - and I'm not through the first hour yet!
How could the performance have been better?
Select any British accented narrator - Pauline Quirk who played Olive in the UK Drama would have been excellent....at all the accents.
Could you see The Sculptress being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
It was and it starred Pauline Quirk who was brilliant in it.
Any additional comments?
Really you couldn't find any British accented person to narrate this book?

Simple Stories poorly read and recorded
Revisado: 07-23-14
What would have made Sarah Woods Mystery Series: Books 1-3 better?
A different Narrator and a better recording. If the narrator had spoken more slowly and in a more interesting manner and if the recording didnt sound as though it was read straight into an iphone, the simple stories are OK
Would you be willing to try another book from Jennifer L. Jennings? Why or why not?
Possibly - easy listening to pass a car journey if I have absolutely nothing else to listen to
Would you be willing to try another one of Erin Coleman’s performances?
Never
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sarah Woods Mystery Series: Books 1-3?
The scenes were fine, just the narration that made it hard to listen to for long periods
Any additional comments?
I should have read the reviews before purchasing the recording - my own fault!

I want to go to Florence!
Revisado: 07-17-13
What did you love best about Inferno?
A riveting story and a beautifully described tour of Florence and the history of Dante. I listen in the car and I found myself not wanting to come to the end of my daily commute, so that I could listen to more.
Thoroughly great read (listen!)
What other book might you compare Inferno to and why?
better than the Da Vinci code I thought in terms of historic fact and imagery
Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?
Robert Langdon
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
definitely
Any additional comments?
